To achieve the reduction of carbon emissions in the building sector, policymakers should be provided with reliable and updated data to facilitate monitoring and periodic assessment of the effectiveness of building-related policies and strategies.

The lack of reliable and high-quality data in the building sector, the disparities regarding the type and quality of data among the Member States and the lack of standard approaches and templates for data collection, management and reporting create an urgent need for more efficient and well-established data procedures through the EU. The recast of the EPBD introduces key provisions for the promotion of a more reliable and transparent data framework in the EU.

OBSERVE aims to guide national authorities in developing national Building Stock Observatories by developing and standardising protocols for the systematic collection and aggregation of building-related data, optimising data collection methods and streamlining the coordination of all relevant bodies.
